Noelle wasn't surprised to see Hendrix's name on her phone screen. Without hesitation, she answered the call.

Her decisive action seemed to catch Hendrix off guard. There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before he finally asked, "What did you call me for earlier?"

Noelle knew he was waiting for her to take the initiative. That was just the way he was. No matter what it was, he always expected others to make the first move.
